As to the Flaviflora seeds which were on the market, whilst I cannot be certain what mine is (yet) I do know what it isnt. I'll just have to hope i can get it to flower next year. I have e mailed the seed supplier in holland for details of the provenance of the seeds.

You're right, I was thinking of M. sanguinea which has not been seen. M. flaviflora, being better documented than species like M. sanguinea, is still somewhat unknown in the horticulture trade and even in botanic gardens, and I find it doubtful that a seed company would be selling something such as M. flaviflora true to its name, but you never know. Markku noted that there was a seed company from NE India selling seeds with pictures of his new M. chunii. I'll ask Markku about their relationship and the status of M. flaviflora. PM or email me, whoever would like to see the article.
